Book excerpt: Synopsis: A Jinx Called Joe is a semi-autobiography, based on Joe’s experience. ‘Jinx’ was the name that ‘the father’ assign to Joe, and the word has permanently been embedded in Joe’s painful memory. His life did not belong to him. Struggling his whole life since birth, Joe decided to survive independently. Lacking any support, Joe had to force himself to be brave and strong to overcome every uphill battle because he had no other choice. To escape from the abuse from ‘the father’, Joe had only two paths — committing suicide or risking everything to fight against ‘the father’. A Jinx Called Joe is an account of the struggle for the meaning of life and self-worth. With no strong literacy background, only sincere words and genuine feelings can touch the readers. Written by someone who was broken, the tale was born to seek to advocate empathy. Writing Style: This book possesses a unique writing style, inspired by A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers by Xiaolu Guo. A strong personality can be found in the first-person point of view. Some English sentences do not follow the grammar rules, with some Chinese writing elements.

Download or read book Back on the Map written by Lisa Ann Scott and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their mother long dead and their father unknown, eleven-year-old Penny Porter and her twin brother Parker have been bouncing around foster homes for as long as they can remember. Inspired by the historical figures in her favorite book, Penny likes to imagine who she could be related to. Sacagawea? Her genes would be good ones to have. Or maybe Ghandi, or Harriet Tubman. There are endless possibilities! But while Penny embraces the question marks in her family tree, she and Porter are both ready for a real home. Living with their aging, ornery Grauntie isn’t easy, but it’s better than other places they’ve been, and they don’t want to get moved again—or worse, split up. Penny believes the key to keeping them from being bounced to another new home is getting their town of New Hope, North Carolina back on the state map. And what better way to do that than to spruce up and sell New Hope’s Finest—an old orphanage that was supposed to reopen years ago as the best attraction ever, but never did. She’s got the creativity and the gumption to do it. And maybe knowing who you are doesn’t matter so much as knowing what you can do. But will that be enough to finally keep her and Parker in one place for good?

Book Synopsis Spiritual Merchants by : Carolyn Morrow Long
Download or read book Spiritual Merchants written by Carolyn Morrow Long and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They can be found along the side streets of many American cities: herb or candle shops catering to practitioners of Voodoo, hoodoo, Santería, and similar beliefs. Here one can purchase ritual items and raw materials for the fabrication of traditional charms, plus a variety of soaps, powders, and aromatic goods known in the trade as "spiritual products." For those seeking health or success, love or protection, these potions offer the power of the saints and the authority of the African gods. In Spiritual Merchants, Carolyn Morrow Long provides an inside look at the followers of African-based belief systems and the retailers and manufacturers who supply them. Traveling from New Orleans to New York, from Charleston to Los Angeles, she takes readers on a tour of these shops, examines the origins of the products, and profiles the merchants who sell them. Long describes the principles by which charms are thought to operate, how ingredients are chosen, and the uses to which they are put. She then explores the commodification of traditional charms and the evolution of the spiritual products industry--from small-scale mail order "doctors" and hoodoo drugstores to major manufacturers who market their products worldwide. She also offers an eye-opening look at how merchants who are not members of the culture entered the business through the manufacture of other goods such as toiletries, incense, and pharmaceuticals. Her narrative includes previously unpublished information on legendary Voodoo queens and hoodoo workers, as well as a case study of John the Conqueror root and its metamorphosis from spirit-embodying charm to commercial spiritual product. No other book deals in such detail with both the history and current practices of African-based belief systems in the United States and the evolution of the spiritual products industry. For students of folklore or anyone intrigued by the world of charms and candle shops, Spiritual Merchants examines the confluence of African and European religion in the Americas and provides a colorful introduction to a vibrant aspect of contemporary culture. The Author: Carolyn Morrow Long is a preservation specialist and conservator at the the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

Then there's the mayhem of Shanghai and the civility of Hong Kong alongside the rough waterside workers of the Australian docks.
